Senate Republicans are hacking it back to $600 & demanding corporate bailouts.

Yes. Teacher salaries and funding school safety measures for safe reopening are a “dealbreaker” for GOP.

– 2nd round of $1200 checks
– Restoring unemployment $
– Money for school, hospital, public transit
– Retroactive benefits
– Mortgage & rent protections— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 18, 2020

Ocasio-Cortez ripped the White House’s use of a standard labor index this week; saying ‘Human Capital Stock’ is “an ugly term with an ugly history.”
